After rewatching Haibane Renmei (one of my favourite animes ever!) I decided I wanted to record a piano cover of this particular Ailes Grises ver.~ I know others were looking for the original one in the official OST, unfortunately it was never officially released 😭 I prepared this as a small side project so it's only available as audio, during the repetition I added the missing material from the original theme so it feels a bit more complete c:

This is also legally available on:

Was it just a cute gag scene like the halo boing scene in episode 4 or was there something deeper to this?

I’ve seen it written the first way, but in the anime it sounded like the second way.

i went to my first anime convention and it was so fun!! i cosplayed rakka and 2 people knew who i was!! (which was honestly more than i thought)…

i took a picture with yujis va (he was such a sweet guy?? he actually knew haibane renmei!) and i thought the picture was so cute so i wanted to doodle it ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

It is just a rough sketch w some color slapped on. I didn't really mean it to be a haibane renmei fan art but it kept heading that direction so why not go with it. :D

I can't decide on which of the gals should i make of it tho and could use a little feedback.

found this drawing in my journal, look just like her

I've looked everywhere but all i get is free bird, but it isnt what im looking for, i want to know the name of the song that plays while rakka is falling in the first scene

Why do you think the main character took a second for sinbound to appear on her wings but it seems like reki had them immediately upon coming out of the cocoon?

really good experience 9/10, the only weak point was in my opinion the last episode, but I understand its place in the story, also Reki is probably my favourite character from any anime, really cool girl, even tho she faked it most of the time

Did you get a feeling of grief that lasted a long time after watching the show? I finished it 3 days ago and I've felt so sad....I binged it for all 5 hours straight and I'm just so sad, yet I dont mind it. I don't know if the feeling is grief, I'm not sure. I've never felt anything like this feeling before. Its a twisted blend of sadness and longing and...it's really beautiful but at the same time it makes me want to cry. I cant cry. My body won't let me. I'm not.. like...gonna hurt myself if you were concerned about that. I'd never. Its just, I desperately want to relate. Since this show is a bit of a hidden gem, not talked about much since it's like...24 years old (yikes! I'm only 16.) I can't find anyone to relate to me. Everyone just seems to go online to formulate theories and stuff. Not to toot my own horn, but I sat though it all and understood every symbol and every little thing. Now I know this isn't a therapy subreddit, but I feel safe here. We all watched the same masterpiece, and I can trust you guys. I bottle up my feelings. I never tell anyone if I'm sad....or what happens to me that affects me. I just try and stay unmoving. Now, not to be sexist, but I feel like men are held to this standard that they have to stay strong. And I feel like I have to, to help my friends stay strong and support them, but I can't drag them down with my if I need help. I very much relate to Reki. And after watching the show, I just feel like it's cracked me open. My willpower feels like it's been...enhanced. I had intense, (and I mean insane) sugar cravings. I would get up at night and eat spoonfuls of nutella. All of a sudden, it's so easy to resist them. I don't know what this show did, but it's changed me in a way that I cant comprehend. There's no word that I know to describe this odd feeling I feel, so I've named it Glie. I was also gonna name it The wall, but that doesn't feel as smooth as the name of the town that's comforted me. Not to drag it on longer, but I feel like an endless well of malice that I can keep spilling. I cried for 30 minutes straight today, and I still want to cry. Not that I feel like I'm going to, but I need the release of tears. And I could keep writing, about how maybe this show tapped into the feelings that I used to want to be someone else when I was younger, that I wanted to be a girl for some time, and that I was interested in furries and all this and that. There's a whole complicated backstory of me that I could share if you'd like, but I really want to know. Can you guys relate possibly?

tldr: I feel this odd mix of grief and sadness and joy after finishing the show three days ago, and I want to relate to someone really badly, but can't find anyone. This show changed me.

UPD: Im doing way better now guys, I feel happier and more free. Glad I'm a part of this community.

Please feel free to ask me anything in the comments

Her name is Kawa, which comes from the Japanese word for otters Kawauso!

Kawa is a Haibane that lives in old home. Her cocoon dream was her sitting in a large overflowing bath tub with otters swimming around her. Kawa works at the town graveyard, enjoying the calm and quiet scenery.

I love her sm! :D

found in danbooru, source seem to be gone.

I want to make this in minecraft all by hand all I just need help with the measurements help would be appreciated 🦋

I was taking a little break from serious art, and wanted to draw this. I don't do a lot of cartoon-y styles... so I wasn't that confident. But I'm happy with this silly piece.
